I will take a pair of running shoes on days that I wear a new pair. I start by buying heels that don't hurt to wear them. Then I will wear heels for 16 or 18+ hours without a backup plan. But you got to start with heels that don't fit correctly.

I just googled "multi colored pumps" and there is a few that come close, from $100 to $1000. Good luck. The ones you see in that picture are at least 5 years old ( life time in woman's shoes).

I don't wear my stilettos enough, but I've hooked my stilettos on a stool's crossbar many times.

At a meeting today, two 4 inch stilettos, two 4 inch block heels, one kitten stiletto, two 2 inch block heels, five tennis shoes.

No problem, all you need are externally mounted independently operated (remote controlled, ideally AI driven) bow and stern thrusters.

(sorry) We call those vehicles land yachts. To large to maneuver the mountain roads around here (with speed). But if he learns how to parallel park in that, then everything else will be easy.

I drink expresso roasted bean. My current beans are a 3 - 3 - 2 mixture of Peruvian Ore Verde, Sumatra Dark, and Sweet Italian. No machine, no pods. Real thick hearty pour-over coffee.

There is coffee (starbucks) and GOOD deep dark roasted flavorful coffee. I've been an author and editor for 35 years. One of many unique positions I have held over the years. Boat gardens, boat puppies, swans, flowers along the sides of the canal, ... I could go on and on ... every year a new Calendar

How about a Long Boat Calendar or a coffee table book of pictures Long Boats. (I guess your would call it a 'tea' table book.) Next year just the canals, smooth water, rough water, clouds reflected, .... then birds along the canals, then ...

I just completed my quick 1.5-day trip. And @pebblesf, the airline was SWA. I wore my Jessica Simpson black faux suede with block heels both ways. Stilettos would have been a nightmare of the airport floors. First with jeans and returned in dark red cords. I was one of the very few in colors other than white, black, blue, grey, and beige. Also, I had the highest heels everywhere. I saw some SWA flight attendants in short (2 inch) heels, and a Spirit FA also on short heels at the hotel I stayed at. Almost all the CLEAR and TSA agents complimented me on my knee-high boots before saying anything else. The guy at the car rental also complimented me on the ‘fierce’ boots before I got to his station. At least 20 other travelers also complimented me on the boots. Many, many double takes. Good quick trip. Another trip in a month. Again boots

I thought I would start a blog of some of my daily events. So I start with today's events. Today I decided to go shopping BEFORE work. I also plan on wearing my new Steven Madden Manner. Found out real fast that driving in the Manners was impossible, so I took a pair to drive in. My destination was a large mall. I parked my car and put on the Manners. So comfortable. Walked in through a store and paid off my minor credit card bill. The woman who took my money went wild over my fingernails. Called another woman over to see them and asked alot of questions. Then when I walked away they saw my heels and made positive comments about them. Next stop was the Steve Madden store. Store was empty, but the saleswoman greeted by "Haven't seen you for a while, what can I get for you." I told here I wanted to get another Manner, in the tan color, but I needed to pay with my Steve Madden gift card. She did a great job and I got all the special added discounts (and MORE). This is where shopping in person really pays off. She went out of her way to get me an unreal low price. While I was there I took the opportunity to try on the Deanna. My feet are not meant for pumps. A few doors down was the Aldo store. I love their gel pads, wear them almost all my heels. So I went in and got another 5 pairs of pads. I think I sold some pads to the woman behind the counter. She loved my heels and asked me to teach her how to walk in heels. I walked back to my car and off to work. Overall today I had at least 15 people (including 3 guys) tell me they liked, loved, or WOW for those Manners. That's the most reaction I have ever gotten with a pair of heels and I wear heels every day. Also had at least a dozen women ask me about my nails, who and where did I get them done.
